Hello Mahogany Families,
Many of our classes have been enjoying the beautiful spring weather and have been walking to the wetlands with buddy classes over the past week. Research shows that encouraging children to play outside and teaching them how to navigate the geography of their community builds resilience and confidence.
As you move into the spring and summer, we hope you can continue to support your child(ren) to play outside and enjoy the beautiful landscape here in Mahogany!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Mike and Christine
